Letter to BCCC - See P41 Update - Page 9

Romanticizing and glamorizing violence against women is only good for TV, it doesn't work out in real life. In real life, a woman's ego, pride and respect are destroyed.
And soTBH...I actually dig the violence (only if its just a slap and nothing like the way Rihanna ended up)
...I know i shouldn't but I guess it is because of the way the CV's presented the issue. The BGM, Asad's regret/pain - how could I not swoon?

Anyone watch Suits? One of the characters was slapped- by a woman, that too twice...and the man didn't reciprocate. If so much is said and done to prevent abuse against woman, shouldn't men deserve the same (yeah, yeah - they're stronger and what not..). I actually know someone who is beat up often by his wife 😆 (I shouldn't be laughing but still) and films in South India include scenes in which the wife beats her husband - as comic relief!
Cheers to hoping India grows, at least where TV is concerned.
But this is just an opinion from an immature and irresponsible 22 year old! So, I don't know if I'm right- so anyone (Laila) point me in the right direction.

Sorry if this is out of topic or too long,
and respect to those who put int time and effort to send the letter!

I honestly DONT understand Laila , when you have such good connections why don't you use it for a better social cause other then targeting a daily soap?
This is really annoying for many viewers who are watching the show as entertainment, nothing else. Why are you trying to ruin it for us?
Use your power to save some women in real world. Here I guess you are simply wasting your time. That slap is over and done with and it won't be repeated. Not because of you letter or whatever, but because that's how it works in every story. Asad is no villain but even the coolest and most gentle person reacts this way certain times. Specially when their most loved ones are harmed the worst possible way. It was not a pre calculative movement but an abrupt one. I have seen it in real life and it CAN NOT BE CONSIDERED AS CRIME AGAINST WOMEN.I have seen both men and women do it to each other and NO I don't think I have regressive thinking. It's very practical.
Yes there was nothing ROMANTIC in the slap but who said it was supposed to be romantic. Next they might show Mamu and Razia plotted to kill Zs mom who might or might not be Msmus first wife. What are you going to do then? That is going to be another crime against woman right? Will you write another petition to stop showing that too , OR you are going to let it go since possibly another woman woukd be shown as the master plotter there?
Slapping a woman and plotting to kill a woman both are crimes AGAINST WOMAN , right?
Anyway I feel better you wait and see where this story is heading instead of sending letters to BCCC or whatever. JUST CHILL.

Rushita,

Glad you voiced your thoughts.

Even with television, portrayal of violence in such a flippant way might influence people to believe such behaviour is ok in real life too. It's not just a slap actually. It's the belief that someone deserves physical aggression cos you feel they're to blame.

Asad's regret? Wish it had been cos he did a wrong thing... Slap someone, not that he slapped her for no fault of hers.

When I was younger, I was attracted to a damaged, 'bad' boy... I felt his angst, believed my love and understanding could heal him. And guess what, I had those M&Bs to thank for letting me believe emotional abuse and sometimes, physical aggression was ok. Cos the making up after, was great!

Result: I took a lot of crap in my early relationship, and it was only months into it, I realised I could not live the rest of my life like this. I'm glad you realise this cannot happen in real life.. Not everyone does, Wish I had... More importantly, wish I had someone tell me this.

The issue is about violence without provocation, and if there is an instance where a woman hits a man for any reason other than self defence it's wrong. No one is condoning it hopefully. If they are, please report to the BCCI.

As for physical aggression being a turn-on, you might want to try reading BDSM books.. It's consensual between two adults, and they know where and when to stop.

@adeeti10; sorry mine may be lame question, but just a doubt, is it BCCI or BCCC?? because the TM wrote it BCCC, you were referring it as BCCI, so got confused, I know one BCCI which means Board of Control for Cricket in India.

Guys! don't be worried by this letter, it won't make the show shut down, they have just voiced their opinion and done what they have felt right. Show won't shut down for this sake, at the max PH may be warned or asked for a explanation and being the creatives of a show or many shows they should be able to defend their action and they will do it, so don't worry. Just chill, and watch the show happily😊 don't panic, as long as a show fetches TRPs no channel is ready to shut it down, don't worry and don't start any kind of fights.
